What you need -- IF you have Microsoft Word -- is BookCreator Tool, available here on MobileRead.

This will cure most of the headaches associated with those weird line breaks. I assemble books here on MobileRead (as do many others), so I know exactly what I'm talking about in regard to this program.

Also, there are many more conversion tools available for the Sony.

Also, because you are somewhat new to the site, I want to recommend the download area here. There's more than 6,000 books available - not exclusively for the Sony, but the majority are indeed for our favorite ebook Reader.

Suggestion: Try to find HTML files on Gutenberg, as they give the least headache in conversion; but the use of BookCreator Tool for those pesky text files gives absolutely excellent results.

Once you've gotten rid of those horrible line breaks, you can import them into BookDesigner or calibre for conversion into lrf files. (There's a steep learning curve on BookDesigner, but many of us use this program.)

Let us know if you need any help on your Reader. There are plenty of members here who will be happy to give assistance.

Thanks. That's really helpful.
